Brinkman. T-242. Alt. 34.1B0. the Red Wings after his Senior League season for Bradenton, Boone said he wanted to get back to the majors.

"Making the big leagues, that's not the ultimate goal," Boone said. "That was the top of the list Now I'd have to restructure my goals. My ultimate goal is to be a starter in the big leagues, do what (Charlie) Hough and (Tom) Candiotti are doing. I feel I can compete at the big-league level because (the knuckle-ball) is a difficult pitch to hit 111 be satisfied with any role they want" But just getting back would prove the naysayers wrong. "A friend of mine told me it would be nearly impossible, but would be the greatest comeback of all time," Boone said of a conversation with the Padres' Eric Show.

Gomez will be making his major-league debut "I'm very happy," the By Parti Singer Democrat and Chronicle OMAHA, Neb. Baltimore Orioles Manager Frank Robinson seems to be taking the accomplishments of 36-year-old, 5-foot-8, 140-pound left-handed knuckleballer Dan Boone seriously. Boone's contract was purchased after last night's 9-3 loss to Omaha as the Royals won the Triple-A Classic. Donell Nixon was taken off the 40-man roster to make room for Boone. Right-handers Mickey Weston and Mike Smith, third baseman Leo Gomez, shortstop Juan Bell and catcher Chris Hoiles were also recalled.

Boone and Smith report today, the others for Monday's game at Memorial Stadium against Boston. Robinson seemed interested in seeing for himself if Boone can transfer his success at Triple-A back to the major leagues. "People laugh because he came from the Senior League," Robinson told the Baltimore Sun. "You laugh because of his height You laugh because of his age. But the guy has been in the big leagues before.

It's not a circus-hype thing." Robinson has hinted to reporters covering the Orioles that he would consider bringing Boone to the majors. The left-hander last pitched in a major-league game in 1982 with the Houston Astros. Boone compiled an 11-5 record, recorded eight saves, and finished second in the International League with a 2.60 ERA. He pitched a seven-inning no-hitter July 23 against the Syracuse Chiefs. "It would be an emotional thing because I've worked so hard for it," Boone said of the promotion.

Boone said he was probably being considered because he throws a knucklebaU. "If I was a conventional fastball, breaking-ball pitcher, it would be a different story. If I didnt throw the knucklebaU in the senior league and had been successful, I wouldn't be here today."

The Red Wings' mistakes hurt," especially since the Royals jumped to a 4-0 lead in the first inning against Holton.

(Through Thursday's games) After Pulliam's ground ball moved Morman to third, Martinez drove him in with a sacrifice fly for a 6-1 lead. The Red Wings needed to make the most of their few opportunities against the right-handed Smith, who received two no-decisions, but had a 1.42 ERA in two games in the American Association playoffs. Smith retired the Red Wings in order in the sixth and seventh innings. He minimized his trouble by equalling his season high of 10 strikeouts before he finished the seventh inning. He didn't walk a batter and finished with 11 strikeouts.

"Whenever we seemed to get in trouble, we either made the pitch or someone in the infield helped out" Smith said. "You can't count the number of times we got the big play." ROYALS 9. BSD WIS S3 3 Umpires Home. Reiily. First.
